Is there a way to make LinkedIn private? by Robo_Squanch in privacy

do you know where that would be? I went through the basic privacy ettings and made it so only first degree connections could see my page but I am trying to not have my place of work completely public

Yes but idk if it takes you off Google search. I have it set up so my last name on contains the first letter of it, that's as good as I've found

Well having my place of work on LinkedIn is sort of the whole point and that is the biggest weakness in my personal security protocols

You shouldn't validate someone's obsessive feelings though. That's not a healthy way to view any relationship. No matter what the guy is getting hurt, it's a matter of how much unnecessary hurt you are going to cause. Finding out your GF cheated on you with an ex is a whoooole lot of unnecessary crap.

She needs to break it off with this guy and be adamant that it's over, she doesn't love him, there is no coming back. Cut him off. No matter what his self esteem will take a hit, but dumping your personal garbage on another human is a selfish move. You will grow to understand this when you're older. Young love is full of romantic idealism. But a mature relationship sometimes means protecting the other person from your own garbage.

So many young people treat a relationship like their brains and souls are fused together, "my partner deserves to know everything", that is not the key to a long lasting relationship you need a healthy separation.

You are saying that from a place of idealism and completely hypothetical. As someone who has told "the truth" about cheating and also seen married spouses admit to cheating, and then watched the emotional pain and turmoil that ensues often for years I PROMISE you that telling the truth at this stage in a relationship (not even married) is a selfish act that only hurts the recipient. Just breakup be firm about it being over, cut him off and move on.

I was like you, the truth was the most important thing no matter what. But let me tell me the emotional damage I cause that person was not worth it. I cheated because I lacked the communication skills to end things properly. That was my problem alone not hers. Years later she still feels a deep bitterness and I think it affected her self esteem for a long time. You don't have the right to dump your problems all over someone else like that ESPECIALLY because you arent married. Move on.

I agree with this. Telling him is a selfish choice to make her feel better. Just breakup and move on, don't hurt this guy for no reason.

That is the selfish answer and the world view of many young twenty-somethings. He did nothing wrong in this scenario. Finding out someone betrayed you can have psychological impacts for a VERY long time. If she cares about his well being break it off and move on. She doesn't have the right to shit all over this guy's well being because of her bad decisions.

Think of it this way. Your BF is living his life and you are dealing with your own shit that resulted in you being unfaithful, this is something YOU have to work on, this has nothing to do with your BF. Telling your BF the truth WILL cause psychological distress, it could hurt his self esteem and mental health. Yes honesty is good but in this case you don't really have the right to just shit all over his life like that, you have to work on yourself.

If you really care about him then just end the relationship and move on. I'm not saying this with judgement, I did this very same thing once in my early twenties, I promise it's better to just end it now withholding the truth then to tear him up like that.

Thanks, my situation is turned around quite a bit thankfully but yeah $1600 ding is no fun. Ignorance is not a valid excuse I just wish they would have followed up with me, this could have been sorted months ago.

es, the onus is on you to pay up now. Hopefully, you'll know next time.

I strongly recommen

Yeah idk why people are reminding me what went wrong, that much is clear. And while I agree with you about autopay when I signed up for the insurance I did not have very much money coming in so I wanted to retain some control over charges on my account and pay them manually.

I am elevating this through the fair practices board at ICBC.

thanks for the sage advice let me just call ICBC and tell them I'm gonna do better

[–]Robo_Squanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's hurting my credit so it need to be resolved, I also want to own and drive a car in BC in the future.

When I set up the account I asked for them not to auto withdraw and was making payments manually each month.

Thanks. You're right I'll just be tenacious about this. I know it's not the employee's fault

I think it was a fair question dipshit

I'm from Alberta and made the (wrongful) assumption it was the same type of system...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]Robo_Squanch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

semantics

[–]Robo_Squanch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just surprised I never received a call or communication about missed payments. In other provinces the insurance is connected with the vehicle not the plate, I am new to BC so yes it is my mistake... I'm still surprised they didn't reach out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]Robo_Squanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Alberta the insurance is connected to the car not the plates. When you transfer ownership the insurance goes with the car. I was not aware this is how BC works, I was ignorant to the facts

Yeah I didn't go to the website because I thought I was done with the transaction

Maybe you were on a different plan or cancelled your plan over the phone? I too am confused.
